Sipiso Piso Waterfall,Medan Tour

Sipiso Piso Waterfall

Sipiso Piso Waterfall – The Sipisopiso is a plunge waterfall in the Batak highlands of Sumatra, Indonesia. It is formed by a small underground river of the Karo plateau that hurls itself from a cave in the side of the lake Toba caldera some 120 meters (360 feet) down to lake level. This fact earns it the title for the highest waterfall in Indonesia. Sipisopiso is a well-known tourist attraction and a nearby vantage point offers great vistas of the fall and the lake.Sipisopiso waterfall is located in the Tanah Karo regency in North Sumatra, at the northern most tip of the Lake Toba caldera, near the fishing village of Tongging. The closest municipality, about 25 kilometers away, is the town of Kabanjahe.

The Sipiso Piso Waterfall is one of the nicest falls in Sumatra, and also one of the tallest waterfalls in Indonesia.It’s a 400-foot giant that flows into the famous Lake Toba in North Sumatra, surrounded by farms and highland scenery. It definitely belongs on any road trip itinerary for Lake Toba or Sumatra, or you can even visit it on a day trip from Medan.This travel guide will explain how to get to Sipiso Piso Waterfall, and everything else you need to know before you go!

Sipiso Piso Waterfall

The waterfalls of Indonesia keep blowing our minds.Sipiso Piso Waterfall (also called Air Terjun Sipiso Piso) in North Sumatra hurls itself from a small underground river towards Lake Toba taking a plunge of 120 metres – making it one of Indonesia’s tallest waterfalls.Needless to say, this incredible waterfall can be seen, felt and heard from far away!⁠⠀Sipiso Piso translates into something akin to “like a knife’s edge”, and the waterfall sure looks sharp.We’ve seen a lot of beautiful waterfalls during our travels, and this one is definitely up there with the best.

Lake Toba is one of the most popular destinations in Indonesia, especially in Medan, North Sumatra. Lake Toba is the largest volcanic lake in Indonesia, even in the Southeast Asia.

Lake Toba is actually more like a sea than a lake considering its size. Therefore, the Lake placed as the largest lake in Southeast Asia and the second largest in the world after Lake Victoria in Africa. Lake Toba is also included the deepest lake in the world, which is approximately 450 meters. It is because the flawless nature and pristine water would satisfy all visitors.

Lake Toba View From Sipiso Piso

The entrance and parking area for the waterfall sits on a big hill above it, so as soon as you arrive you’re treated to a panoramic view of both the waterfall and Lake Toba in the distance — no hiking needed!

The hike down to the bottom of the falls is also worthwhile if you have time. It takes about 30-40 minutes each way, and you can get some better pictures at the bottom. The path is pretty worn, but still mostly paved.

There are a bunch of scenic viewpoints along the way, but the most amazing thing is to see the waterfall up close. You can walk directly to the edge of the falls, where there’s a huge amount of wind and spray!

The Sipiso Piso Waterfall (also known by its Indonesian name Air Terjun Sipiso Piso) is an interesting one because it actually flows from an underground river and then comes out of a cave in the side of the rock.

This is commonly called the tallest waterfall in Indonesia, but that’s actually not correct. There are other waterfalls in Sumatra that are much taller, such as Sigura Gura Waterfall, which is over 250 meters tall.

In any case, Sipiso Piso Waterfall is 120 meters (400 feet) tall, so it’s one of the tallest waterfalls in Indonesia. And it’s one of the most scenic and impressive, to boot.

The only downside of our visit here was the plastic trash thrown everywhere by the locals. Sadly there was so much rubbish along the trail and all the way to the waterfall itself.

Please don’t litter here. Tolong jangan buang sampah di sini. This is one of Indonesia’s nicest and most iconic waterfalls, so hopefully everyone will do more to clean and protect it.

How To Get There

This waterfall is located in North Sumatra, about 1.5 hours south of Berastagi or 3.5 hours south of Medan city.

The best way to get to Sipiso Piso Waterfall is to hire a private car and driver. It’s possible to visit the waterfall on a very long day trip from Medan and return the same day, but what most people do is a 3 day (or longer) road trip around Lake Toba that also includes a stop here. Check : Medan Car Rental With Driver

Lake Toba is amazing in its own right, and there are lots of waterfalls and other things to see in the area. It’s also a huge lake with a lot of driving distance, so the only way to really do it justice is an extended road trip!

Best Time To Travel

To enjoy the beauty of Lake Toba at its fullest.

we recommend you to travel here during their dry season which occurs between May to September.

During this period, you can explore clearer blue skies and sunny weather.

Unless you want to spend your holiday stuck in the hotel due to the unceasing rain or use an umbrella as your photo accessory, avoid the rainy season from November to late March.

Public holidays such as Eid holidays or Chinese New Year are not ideal for travelling here too because everything from the crowd to the prices will go up.

The Sipiso waterfall is popular with tourists from Sumatra and Southeast Asia, but it’s never very crowded since most people only look at it from the top viewpoint and then leave.

The waterfall is open and flowing all year, although the flow is a bit smaller in the dry season (summer) months. If you manage to come on a sunny day, you can see a nice rainbow at the waterfall.

Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni

Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni

Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni – The magnificent Marian Shrine of Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni is dedicated to the Blessed Mother Mary who is known in India as Annai Velangkanni Arokia Matha (Our Lady of Good Health). Graha means home or sanctuary or shrine in Sanskrit. Built in 2005, it is located on the outskirts of the city of Medan in the North Sumatra province of Indonesia.

Aerial-1Built with an Indonesian touch, the architecture of this shrine is totally different from the norm and the uniqueness of this lofty and imposing structure lies in the originality of its Indo-Mughal architectural blend, in its ornaments and display of colors done by amateur hands and above all in its Biblical content.

Several religious symbols adorn the building, but these are in harmony with the structure of the shrine and form a beautiful unity. Aesthetic and religious values blend in to express the loftiness and the great mystery of the divine majesty. If you feel that you would like to go on a pilgrimage, then this Marian Shrine of Annai Velangkanni would be a good choice.The originator of the Shrine is Father James Barathaputra, SJ. He is a Jesuit priest from India and had served in Indonesia for more than 50 years.

Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni

Father James dreamt of a Graha Maria (Marian Shrine) to be a CHURCH OF PROCLAMATION – to spread the Good News of Jesus and devotion to Mother Mary. He had a vision to make the Graha Maria a place where everybody of all races and religions, rich or poor can call home – to seek peace, solace, healing and divinity. Hence there are no visible Catholic symbols or features externally.


Towards this end, he wanted a Church that is unique – where Catholics can reinforce their faith and non-Catholics can experience and learn about another faith in an environment where their respective faith is also represented in the features of the building. The Indo-Mughal design makes it look like a church, temple and mosque all in one. The Graha Maria seeks to teach humanity the story of Salvation History of mankind, based on the Bible and the teachings of the Church through its format, symbolism, ornaments, sculpture and paintings.


The shrine was conceived to be a place where heaven and earth meet and where God Almighty, the Trinity of Christian faith would like to meet human beings of good will to give them a taste of the divine. The Medan Archbishop Msgr AG Pius Datubara OFMCap showed a keen interest in the project and actively encouraged Fr. James with his vision for the church.

Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni

It is a dream come true and also a miracle that Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni could be completed. There were no fixed financial backers, no building committee for fund raising, no qualified designer and architect, no professional contractor and no real artist to do the paintings and relief works, except a highly qualified Catholic engineer, Dr. Ir. Johannes Tarigan who offered his services free to work out the structure and supervise the construction of the building.
Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni was built by the hands of amateurs and relied on funding from donors. But as it turned out, the fact that God was behind all these efforts to create such a beautiful church and community hall is plain for us to see.

Miraculously money kept flowing in to the point that construction works started with only USD 12,000 and there was no holding back. Once construction started, money was not the stumbling block. Whenever money was needed for the building, it was there for the taking. It just kept flowing from benefactors of all races, religion and nationalities. The total cost for the construction of the church was 4 billon Ruppiah (USD 500,000) which is very low considering the magnitude of the building and 60% of the funds came from Indonesian donors, 10% from India, Malaysia and Singapore and 30% came from a single Chinese family in Singapore (Philip Tong Guan Beng & Grace Tong-Lam Chi Lian). When the building was completed, money stopped.

Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni Divine Providence

  • Provided the never ending flow of funds to build the shrine;
  • Brought publicity and awareness to the construction of the shrine through the miracle of the fire;
  • Inspired and guided in the preparation of the design for the shrine and all its various intricate details;
  • Secured the approvals and consents of the relevant authorities without much hassle especially building a shrine in a predominantly Muslim neighborhood. The approval came as soon as the construction of the Chapel was completed;
  • Supplied all the artisans, bricklayers, plumbers, electricians and other workers from the surrounding areas at a minimal costs;
  • Introduced Dr. Ir. Johannes Tarigan, a lecturer cum engineer to advise in the construction and use his expertise is designing buildings in a earthquake prone area, the church is protected from destruction from earthquakes up to 9 on the Richter Scale;
  • Also introduced a young man, Andreas, a talented student who undertook the entire exterior and interior painting works. He produced such fine paintings that he was dubbed ‘Little Michealangelo of Medan’ by the congregation;
  • Inspired, motivated and guided Fr. James from the time the idea was conceived till the final completion of the building of Graha Maria.

The History of the Tamil Catholic Community

In the late 19th century, some of the French and Dutch plantation companies had brought migrant workers from India (Pondichery and other parts of Tamilnadu) to be employed in their plantations in Deli Serdang area in the outskirts of Medan Town. Among those Indians were several catholic families.

As part of their spiritual care the company had provided a chapel where the catholic families could meet and have their religious services conducted in their mother tongue (Tamil) on Sundays. Occasional visit of some priest from Pondichery to celebrate Holy Mass in Tamil brought them great joy.

At the inception of the Cathedral Church of Medan as place of worship in 1879 at Jl Pemuda No 1 (formerly: Paleisstraat; Istana Street) the majority of Catholics were ethnic Tamil Indians and the Netherlands. The Tamil Indians later built for themselves a Parish at Jalan Hayam Wuruk in Medan Baru area, called as St. Anthony’s Church, annexed to it were housing for Tamil Catholic Indians.

Annai Velangkanni

Annai Velangkanni is from the Tamil language where “Annai” means Mother and “Velangkanni” comes from the name of a village in coastal Tamil Nadu (South India), namely Velankanni (the British colonial masters spelled it as Vailankanni), a village that is believed to be where the Virgin Mary appeared in the 16th century. The Indonesians pronounced “Velankanni” as in “Velangkanni” and hence was adopted as the official spelling of the Shrine to distinguished it from the shrine in Tamil Nadu, India. So in Indonesia Annai Velankanni Arokia Matha (Lady of Good Health) is known as Bunda Velangkanni Bunda Penyembuh Orang Sakit.

Although the devotion to Annai Velangkanni has its origin in the village of Velangkanni, Indonesians are now beginning to called her as the Annai Velangkanni of Tanjung Selamat (the Bay of Salvation).

The Basilica of Annai Velankanni in Tamilnadu (India) is built in the Gothic style and its founding is attributed to the two apparitions of Our Lady in the 16th century and the saving of the Portuguese sailors from a tempest in the Bay of Bengal in the later 17th century.

Why Annai Velangkanni?

The Tamil Catholic community of Medan had a deep devotion and honor for Blessed Mother Mary of Velangkanni, whose shrine is well known all over the world to people of all races and creed for her miraculous help and protection. Irrespective of their religious beliefs, Tamils throng to churches dedicated to our Blessed Mother Mary every where, and in fact among the Tamil people, the Catholic church is always known as ‘Matha Koil” meaning church of Mother Mary.
The idea of a Shrine in honor of Annai Velangkanni which could serve as a pilgrimage center for the population of Medan archdiocese was strongly supported by the then Archbishop of Medan Msgr. Alfred Gonti Pius Datubara OFM Cap. The Archbishop had visited Annai Velangkanni Shrine in Tamilnadu, India and was duly impressed with the devotion of the people and power of the Blessed Mother in that Church.

The Shrine of Annai Velangkanni in India is a national pilgrimage center built some 350 years ago and has been drawing millions of people every year from every walk of life and religious affiliations. It stands as a living proof of devotion to our Blessed Mother Mary. The heavenly Mother through her powerful intercessions is still working miracles by curing the sick, granting the petitions of the devotees and making her Son Jesus known and loved by people thus enkindling faith in the unbelievers and strengthening the faithful, as at Lourdes in France and Fatima in Portugal.

Marian Shrine of Annai Velangkanni

The magnificent Marian Shrine of Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni is dedicated to the Blessed Mother Mary who is known in India as Annai Velangkanni Arokia Matha (Our Lady of Good Health). Graha means home or sanctuary or shrine in Sanskrit. Built in 2005, it is located on the outskirts of the city of Medan in the North Sumatra province of Indonesia.

The originator of the Shrine is Father James Barathaputra, SJ. He is a Jesuit priest from India and had served in Indonesia for more than 50 years.

The Architecture Of Annai Maria Velangkanni

The architecture of this shrine is totally different from the norm. A typical church consist of a Christian cross attached to the top of the building. Rarely do you find components of another religion on its architecture. However, that’s what you’d find in the Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni. At a first look it doesn’t look like a church at all!

Indo-Mughal styleWhen you see this shrine from some distance it looks more like a Tibetan style Buddhist temple, due to the presence of both Indian and Chinese characters on the building’s architectural design. The building itself was designed in an Indo-Mughal style. The combinations of brown, grey, and red colors on the building, and its pyramidal pagoda on top, give you the impression of a Buddhist or Hindu monastery somewhere in India. In addition, the two winding staircases (one on the right, and one on the left side of the building) leading you to the second floor, resemble the palaces you can see in the Forbidden City in Beijing, China!

All these religious symbols adorn the building in a harmony with the structure of the shrine and form a beautiful unity. Aesthetic and religious values blend in to express the loftiness and the great mystery of the divine majesty.

The magnificent Marian Shrine of Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni is dedicated to the Blessed Mother Mary who is known in India as Annai Velangkanni Arokia Matha (Our Lady of Good Health). Graha means home or sanctuary or shrine in Sanskrit. Built in 2005, it is located on the outskirts of the city of Medan in the North Sumatra province of Indonesia.

Aerial-1Built with an Indonesian touch, the architecture of this shrine is totally different from the norm and the uniqueness of this lofty and imposing structure lies in the originality of its Indo-Mughal architectural blend, in its ornaments and display of colors done by amateur hands and above all in its Biblical content. Several religious symbols adorn the building, but these are in harmony with the structure of the shrine and form a beautiful unity. Aesthetic and religious values blend in to express the loftiness and the great mystery of the divine majesty. If you feel that you would like to go on a pilgrimage, then this Marian Shrine of Annai Velangkanni would be a good choice.

The originator of the Shrine is Father James Barathaputra, SJ. He is a Jesuit priest from India and had served in Indonesia for more than 50 years.

A pilgrimage is a Christian devotional practice with an ancient tradition and history. The faithful go on pilgrimage by journeying to shrines and sacred places to pray there and draw closer to God. Places of pilgrimage are often marked by God’s special intervention or have a particular importance in the religious history of a people. Shrines dedicated to the veneration of Mary, the Mother of God or to a particular saint are common places of pilgrimage.

Pilgrimages, in all their multiple aspects, have always been a gift of grace. The Graha Maria makes you feel at peace with yourself and with the world surrounding you. Not only Catholics can come and visit, people from all religious backgrounds, nationality, regardless of color and creed can come and seek for spiritual healing here, or whatever it is they are looking.

Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni – You are a Phenomenon in our times and a Home for all people of good will irrespective of race, creed and mother tongue who come to experience peace, harmony and fellowship.

We wish you enjoy your tour of the shrine, feasting your eyes on this “Something Beautiful from God“.
